The objective of this randomized trials is to evaluate, among coronary artery disease
patients who have just had either angioplasty or stents, whether a novel intervention based
on feedback of individualized risk profiles framed as the opportunity to reduce one's
biological age is more effective after two years in reducing mortality and major
cardiovascular morbidity (specifically, myocardial infarction, stroke, class II-IV angina,
and severe ischemia) than the standard risk reduction approach, which is framed as one's
opportunity to reduce future risk. The novel strategy is based on the theory of net-present
value and is tested in coronary artery disease patients who have a high risk of adverse
outcomes by two years.

1. To determine whether patients who receive the net-present value intervention have more
improvements in their risk factor profile than those in the control group at two years.
2. To determine whether the net-present value intervention will enable patients to sustain
behavioral change over the long-term.
3. To determine whether the net-present value intervention will improve overall functional
status and prevent further disability.
The long-term objective of this study is to determine whether a net-present value approach
for motivation behavior change is effective in reducing risk factors, improving treatment
outcomes, and enhancing quality of life among a high-risk group of patients.

Inclusion criteria:
- All patients undergoing coronary artery catheterization who are found to have at least
single vessel stenosis and who have had revascularization with angioplasty or coronary
artery stenting will be eligible for enrollment. Patients must be able to provide
informed consent within the one week after the procedures.
Exclusion criteria:
- Patients must be verbally fluent in English. To ascertain this, we ask the patient to
rate their fluency on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as best), and if the score is 7 or
more, they are approached for consent. The patient must be able to provide their own
consent without translation.
- Enrollment in other trials designed to modify post-procedure behaviors.
- Patients who refuse to participate will be excluded.
- If at any time prior to enrollment in the study, the patient's cardiologist determines
that the patient should not participate in this study, the patient will not be
enrolled in the trial.
